h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ralph's inciteful comment on the duality of being revels in the idea that a person can, at the exact same time, embody two completely concepts.

Truly Socrates himslef could not have said it better.

A startlingly insightful examination of a phrase uttered by perhaps the greatest mind of all.

I would speculate that, just perhaps, 'I bent my Wookie' - another comment employed by Ralph Wiggum - is his attempt to come to terms, not just with the materialistic quality of the world in which we live, but also the fundamental laws of nature. Ralph has, here, discovered Newton's Third Law of Motion, in a form - every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Should the action by applying force to an object (ie: the Wookie), then its result will be a deformation of the original shape of the object. Wiggum is truly a future genius.
